Data point: The ARIA support of Validator.nu, which hasn't been updated to spec
yet, allows and has always allowed <a role=button>.
It's unfortunate that the accessibility part is the only part where it's
realistic to programmatically detect semantic abuse. However, I think it's more
likely that authors would break accessibility than that authors would stop the
semantic abuse in this case if whined at by a validator. (That is, I disagree
with the editor's resolution of this bug.)
